SENATE RESOLUTION--166--RECOGNIZING THE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE 
               DENVER BRONCOS IN WINNING SUPER BOWL XXXII

  Mr. CAMPBELL (for himself and Mr. Allard) submitted the following 
resolution; which was considered and agreed to.

                              S. Res. 166

         
       Whereas on August 14, 1959, a passion was born in the heart 
     of the Rocky Mountain Region that brought such memories as 
     ``Orange Crush,'' ``The Drive,'' ``The Fumble,'' ``The Three 
     Amigos,'' and 4 previous Super Bowl appearances;
       Whereas the fans of the Denver Broncos are recognized 
     throughout the National Football League (referred to in this 
     resolution as the ``NFL'') for their unconditional allegiance 
     to the team, contributing to 229 consecutive sold-out stadium 
     home games;
       Whereas the Denver Broncos' organization assembled a 
     championship caliber coaching staff who created a 
     championship caliber team;
       Whereas the Denver Broncos played in 4 previous Super Bowls 
     without winning, represented the American Football Conference 
     in Super Bowl XXXII which had not won a Super Bowl in 13 
     years, and was considered the underdog in the game; and
       Whereas after almost 40 years, the Denver Broncos became 
     champions of the NFL with a victory in Super Bowl XXXII over 
     the defending national champions and perennial contenders, 
     the Packers from Green Bay, Wisconsin: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) recognizes the outstanding achievement of the Denver 
     Broncos in winning Super Bowl XXXII on January 25, 1998; and
       (2) congratulates the players, staff, and fans of the 
     Denver Broncos for a terrific football season and a thrilling 
     victory in Super Bowl XXXII.
